This pet is redeemed through the very rare 'Thunderhead Hippogryph' loot card from the World of Warcraft TCG. The card may be scratched to reveal a code allowing access to this pet. The code may be redeemed at Blizzard's promotion retrieval page. The pet may be obtained in-game from Landro Longshot in Booty Bay.

So... I had decided not to pursue the TCG loot cards, but while buying a gift at Target we happened upon a big box of 99 cent trading card packs. There was one Treasure Pack from Onyxia's Lair. My 6 year old opened my cards and asked what I was looking for. I said, "One with a scratch off code." She replies, "Like this one?" and hands me the Thunderhead Hippogryph. OMG! Couldn't believe it. Moral of the story - check your local Target for cheap WOW cards!

My fiance gave me this one when he got it out of his deck. I was so stoked to add it to my wonderful collection! This will be for however long my all time fav. pet. I enjoy his big nose/head to his small little hooved body. Plus its a perfect fit for a druid. Now if only they could fly up with your flying mount like some other pets do.

Very nice pet. I wish that it would fly next to me on my flying mount like the tickbirds and moths do. I even have the Cenarion Hippogryph mount. It floats around you on the ground, a little lower than the whelplings.
